Your lifestyle as a pastor should be worthy of emulation.Especially how you dress and talk.Any pastor that has dreadlocks and tattoos are agent of the devil sent from the pit of hell to seek souls for the devil himself.The yeye pastor even said God is okay with tattoos grin

Isaiah 44:5 (KJV):
One shall say, I am the LORD’s; and another shall call himself by the name of Jacob; and another shall subscribe with his hand unto the LORD, and surname himself by the name of Israel.

What is your problem with it?

There are those who were BORN AGAINST the doctrines of Christ Jesus. They are the ones you see hustling at the very narrow gate of heaven without any intention of entering inside but would not leave the entrance of the gate. They are called spiritual BLOCKERS at the gate of heaven . They are appointed to be stumbling blocks at the gate of heaven to divert casual visitors away from the path of eternal life. While their fellow hellbound demons are heading and arriving hell , these wicked ones choose to stay at heaven's gate purposely to block those attempting to enter heaven. Beware of the BORN AGAINST and never call them Born Again

It's clear these are frowned at both in the Islamic and in the old testament laws. But Christians running away from old testament laws have no law to rely on to forbid all these!

Same as gambling in Christianity!

Where did you read your own old Testament that wearing dreadlocks or tattoos are frowned at?

May God increase your wisdom... Amen. Tattoo doesn't actually dignify sin, but you can make people to fall into sin, make them not to trust in your beliefs because they might not be able to control their body. Tattoo leads to sin, but not all who draw tattoos are sinners.

immortalcrown:
What is the spiritual or health benefit of tattoo? If there is none, Christians should not get tattoos. Getting tattoos before becoming a Christian is different.

Tattoo is not a sin. But it is unsuitable for Christianity. Those who support Pastor Kingsley just because tattoo is not a sin should try to prove that tattoo is godly.

As it cannot be proven to be a sin, it equally cannot be proven to be godly. Therefore, what is the essence of you getting tattoos after becoming a Christian?

It is not just about a Christian getting tattoos. Christians are expected to live an examplary life. A Christian can get tattoos and still be able to control himself without indulging in the sinful things that most of the people that get tattoos are known for. But a Christian getting tattoos can cause those looking up to the Christian to deviate because by the time those people get tattoos,.those people will not be able to control themselves over the sinful things that an average person with tattoos indulge in.

Re: Should Born Again Christians Have Tattoos And Dreadlocks? by shineeye1: 3:07pm On Feb 08

Many would have escaped damnation if only they call themselves to routine self audits: how come I find the hair typical of unkempt lunatics attractive? How come I find interest in wearing the image of a madman? Social permissiveness and the absence of self audit when confronted with the spiritual forces of disorder is the reason for widespread demonic possession among youths today. Most realize too late when they have lost the most precious parts of their lives.

How does having tattoos, dreadlocks affects the preaching

Where in the bible was it written that you must not have a tattoo or dreadlocks

If you are asking to know. It's leveticus 19.28.

Re: Should Born Again Christians Have Tattoos And Dreadlocks? by Adakintroy: 3:37pm On Feb 08

It's not about the body but about it a lot. The new testament ordained the spirit and reduced the body. Must actions seek glorification of the body. To what extent can you stretch it. This is why Christianity offers modesty. Humility and simplicity as a for mo virtue. The more the body is glorified the lesser the spirit becomes and vice versa.

That's why in some section of the bible, fasting with sack clothes is also recorded. Whatever it takes to reduce the influence of the body.

Lecticus 19 ,28. Is about writing of any form on the body.

Re: Should Born Again Christians Have Tattoos And Dreadlocks? by sleeksamurai(f): 3:46pm On Feb 08

People get things before being Christians. And even if a Christian has them, as long as they were not in worship of a deity, no issues.

Finding God in prison or as an ex-convict doesn’t deny your redemption. Focus on your calling and your relationship with God.

Even the bible says God searchers the hearts of men and we walk/work with him by faith and our hearts. Not our looks.

You don make me login and comment after more than 5 years. Nigerians like to focus on irrelevant things

Will you take serious a male evangelist if you see him sagging his trouser to preach? If a so-called born again christian goes to bleach his or her skin, or goes for BBL, will you take them serious?

Now if you say: "show me in the Bible where doing dreadlocks for guys is a sin". What if I tell you to show me in the bible where sagging trouser & wearing big chain, smoking weed and bleaching are clearly called sin? you may never find it: but are they good for a born again Christian? Never.

If you are truly a born again Christian, you must walk in the Spirit. You cannot be worldly or fleshly: and if you truly have the Spirit of God working in you, He can never tell you or permit you to do tattoo, dreads etc. It is only the fleshly and worldly nature that can make someone desire to appear like the world.

A true born again Christian must align with Jesus Christ always, and will never put up an appearance that will hinder the gospel or create doubts in the mind of those who will receive the gospel from them.

Note: God will never adjust His standards to fit into the world or trends. And If you say things have changed, God's holiness and judgement in eternity has not changed.

Re: Should Born Again Christians Have Tattoos And Dreadlocks? by Insectkiller: 3:50pm On Feb 08

Whether is in the Bible or not..

Must you be told before knowing that some values and traits doesn't portray who you are??

Are you that f00lish to know that ??

Christian is a way of life..and as a Pastor or born again Christian you must adhere to the modest life of Christ.

What was ur intention for doing tattoo on ur body?
How do u feel as parent when ur child start some strange attitude such as tattoos on the body, male child with earring, plaiting of hear, dressing like a bob-risky, etc..

How much did u want our Father in heaven to feel..?

So don't bring dis topic up anymore...

If he feels that's what it's right for him..Tor let him be..

But it's on record that many of us told him about the wrong attitude.

Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure having these seal the Lord knoweth them that are his key everyone that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. Before you adopt a practice as a Christian ask yourself if Christ the author and finisher of the faith practiced and teach such. Also did the apostles do anything like that either by word or practice. Don't copy anybody you see because that person will not give account for you at the end. Be intentional and deliberate about your Christian life..

Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. And after the mouth hath spoken the person acts. So in the end everything in the heart always shows like a tattoo. So rest, you do not have any reasonable thing to say

You’re a selective practitioner of the gospel. Deuteronomy 14:26. Isaiah 44:5. Galatians 2:11-14. Read these verses Mr. You’ll stop saying these hypocritical doctrines.

I thought Sampson and John the baptist had dread undecided

Jesus had long hair like women of his time.

And they wear feminine looking wears

Re: Should Born Again Christians Have Tattoos And Dreadlocks? by 29Ade07: 5:10pm On Feb 08

The practice of being a Nazarene symbolized by wearing of hair with lock ended with old testament. It was a sign of consecration unto God under the law. In new testament, God no longer demand external sign but a new heart and spirit. Something internal. You have never seen Jesus so you can't tell how long his hair was. Additionally, if Jesus had long hair like women then Paul by the Spirit would never have written to Corinthians to tell them that a long hair is woman's glory but dishonourable to a man. The God head would be contradicting himself. To this,I say God forbid.

Only God is the ultimate judge he doesn't need any human assistant God is just too big to be boxed in one place or completely understood by mortal humans so don't ever feel you have come to fully know or understand everything about him from whatever you have read from the bible. God is too mysterious and he is even far bigger than what has been written of him in the bible with what i have come to understand over the years only a small mind will limit him to what's written in the bible.

Ok.

So, God was bluffing in all the while He was dicating those commandments to Moses?

Well, read Isaiah 44:5 lol.

God Himself commanded circumcision and he also commanded that you should not 0rinting Markings on your person.

I am not in a position to force that one you but point you to that fact. Whether you obey or not is not my beat, you and I will have God to answer to.

Isaiah 44:5 (KJV) One shall say, I am the LORD'S; and another shall call himself by the name of Jacob; and another shall subscribe with his hand unto the LORD, and surname himself by the name of Israel.

Yet, Ananias and Sapphira were kpaid because they were not holy

They were pkaied bcus Peter admonished the Law on them instead of handing them over to Grace.
Remember when Jesus Christ resurrected , He breathed in them and told them whoever sin you forgive , is forgiven him. The Apostles were in their innitial ministry stage, you will never find such thing in the new Testament after that.

Tatoo or no Tatoo none of Us is worth receiving anything from God, the Op might be even secretly doing something worse than tatoos.
Legalist wannabe like the op projects salvation by outward look, deed or works,but the Bible already said by works shall no man be justified .

You are only saved through the Blood of Jesus by Grace through Faith which is in Christ Jesus.

Dont let anyone drag You into Salvation by works bcus people can be very hypocritical , God is the only One who can search the heart of man.
Just submit your soul to Jesus Christ , set your heart to behold Him as in a mirrow through the Word of God, then you will be changed right from the inside .

Since not wearing Tattoo cant take you to heaven, that means wearing tatoo cant stop you from going to heaven, the only sin that can take one to hell is not BELIEVING THE GOSPEL.
